"So what are you going to teach today, Teacher Xin?" Ye Lingling asked after they all gathered together.
"Today, i will help you to break your mortal human limitation, but before we start, who can answer me how many percent a person can exert full strength?"
"That's easy, Teacher Xin, it's 100%." Fatty said.
"You're wrong, I think it's 80%," Tang San answered.
"Any more answers, you can also answer with us, Teachers." Xin said to Flander and Yu Xiaogang who were listening to them.
"I think it's 80%?"
"Me too, I think the same."
"Any more? If not, I will answer you truthfully."
"You can't use 90% to 100% of your body's total power. It isn't possible except for in very specific cases. You may think I'm lying but it's completely true."
"From the time that you are born to the time that you reach initial puberty, your body is collecting data. What your limits are. What your strength level is. But the most important of those. Your physical durability."
"Your body uses these calculations to ensure that you don't exert too much force and hurt yourself, and saves them in the form of "neural inhibitors"."
"These are in place to make sure that when you punch something, for example, you don't shatter your hand."
"Human body usually only uses about 65% of their strength, which is the number you should be looking to use."
"You're probably wondering what can turn off the inhibitors, right?"
All of them nodded.
"Desperation. Not adrenaline by itself. Desperation mixed with it. This is why people in fights don't usually shatter bones, but also why a mother whose child is in danger can exert more strength."
"Our body doesn't let us access that strength in times of attack or defense, but rather in a time where we need a significant feat of strength and that it's our only option. THAT is what removes those internal inhibitors."
"Could you use 100% of your muscle power?" Yu Xiaogang suddenly asked.
"Could you use 100% of your muscle power? Yes. All the time? No. Plain and simple, you would die."
"Die?"
"Another big reason we can't use that much power constantly is energy consumption. Your body physically wouldn't be able to keep up and would shut itself down. This is what we call muscle exhaustion."
"So in summary? You are not using 100% of your power and have about 35% left in reserve on average. But you're not going to be able to use it regularly, nor would you want to."
"What is the meaning of knowing all of this Teacher?" Fatty asked.
"Simple, if you know your full capability, that means you will also know your own limitation and that limitation is the key to unlocking the way so that we can use all our strength in 100%."
"If you can fight using 65% and you win easily, or with a small margin of defeat, what will happen if you add 1 more %? Or 2 more %?"
"I got it now," Ning Rongrogn said.
"That 1% of additional usage of our own strength is like a buff of my Martial Spirit, and the most convenient of all is that you can either use it in case of emergency or hide it to save for last."
"That's right, and the most important of them all is that, if you unlock that 35% more of your own personal strength it means your ability is stronger with 35% than the same rank as you."
35% stronger than a normal Soul Master is huge, much more than 35% did not come from any auxiliary but on your own.
"Teacher Xin, is there a way to see your full body capacity?" Fatty asked.
"There is." Xin takes a simple punching bag and presents it to them.
"You just need to punch your full strength without using any ability or spirit power in this device to see how much strength you can release then the machine will calculate the result for you."
"Can I try it first, teacher Xin?" Zhao Wuji asked.
"Sure, Teacher Zhao."
Zhao Wuji then tried to punch the machine.
"Ha!"
Bang!
The machine shook from the punch and a mechanical sound started to hear from it.
"This is pretty durable."
"Of course, even Extreme Douluo can't destroy it."
"... Really?"
Ding!
.......
Over All Power: 73%
......
"Only 73%? Does that mean I'm 8% stronger than a normal Spirit Douluo?"
"That's right."
"Let me try it too." Flander said.
Ding!
.......
Over All Power: 69%
......
"69%?"
"You're too weak Boss."
"It's not that Dean Fladner is weak, it's because he is an Agility Attack System while you are a Power Attack System, the gap with your body is of course different."
Flander and Zhao Wuji can easily understand it, with Zhao Wuji's body that is full of muscle and Flander's body that is built to exert more speed, the power that it can release is of course different.
